Aman - AS2 - Week 3 Blog: Checkpoint Presentation and Role Clarity

By

Week 3 brought another shift in the team dynamic. Jayden's absence turned out to be the result of an enrolment mixup rather than a deliberate departure, and he rejoined the group this week. This meant another round of recalibration as we adjusted the task distribution again to bring him back into the workflow. It was a bit of back and forth in the early weeks but having the full team back together was a positive thing going into the checkpoint.

The main event this week was the first checkpoint presentation with Roshan. I contributed to the frontend progress that was shown, providing suggestions and feedback on the UI direction as Manzil developed the core screens. Going into the presentation I had been given clearer roles within the team and was more actively involved in the frontend development side. Presenting what we had built in the first three weeks and getting direct feedback from Roshan was useful in understanding what the project needed to focus on going forward.

 This week I suggested that we build a web-based application, since it would be easier to present and maintain . I also shared my screen to walk my team through serveral of my past project s, includes a Movie Review Web App , an Advanced Web Project , a Shooter Game and a Task/Calender App . These demonstrations highlight my technical ability acrosss both web and game development and based on this the team suggrested that I would be the most suitable choice to take on the role of main developer for the project. Beyond my project showcases, I also supported our collaboration setup by creating a Discord server so the team could share updates and stay connected outside formal meetings.

Tausif Rahman This week I presented the  Audit App  concept with its two parts:  Order Audit (OrderAuditPro)  and  Walkthrough Auditor . I later uploaded documentation and demonstration files of an Android version of the Order Audit module, which helped the team understand the concept more clearly. In addition, I encouraged the team to think about their  past subject projects  by asking what they had worked on in Android, iOS, cross-platform, and project management courses, to see if those experiences could be adapted into our current project. Alongside that, I shared several of my own past coursework projects, such as  ScholarSwap  (resource and book exchange platform),  SurvivAway  (a budgeting and life-flow helper), and  FocusFlow  (a study planner with ADHD-focused features). I also raised the issue of  legal risks  in some ideas, such as consumer liability in a Parking App or data security concerns in a Pass...

  participated in the voting process and initially leaned toward the Audit App, but after deeper discussions, I found the Customer Service Checker and Vehicle Manager ideas more scalable and innovative. I located an academic paper titled E-Charge, which described an EV-charging-station planning system using open data and efficiency modelling. I shared the paper with the group and led a discussion on how its methods could guide our approach—particularly its use of driver-collected data, efficiency mapping, and route-planning optimisation. I also helped analyse how to simplify our version for Trimester 1, keeping it practical while leaving room for AI integration later. Additionally, I began finding and reviewing more EV-planning research papers to contribute to our shared knowledge base.
